Solved! Get migraines with current headset due to over heating and need a replacement

[yuty89]

I currently have the razer kraken pro, and almost never wear them due to them causing heat migraines. I have a large head, proportionate ears to head ratio, and glasses. i prefer over ear vs on ear which I don't find comfortable. I can work with either a headset or headphones as I do have a stand alone mic. I'm not an audiophile but I do need directional hearing for my PEW PEW games. I can spend up to $200 but I am not afraid of cheap headsets if they will keep my head from feeling like it will explode. Also no ear-pods, I'm not a fan.

TLDR:
>headset causing overheating migraines
>need new headphones or headset (no earpods)
>no more than $200
>need either active cooling or low warmth retention
>no on ears, only over ears
>for large head and ears to go with

Try using a small fan when you use the headphones. HP has an active cooling headset but they don't fit over ears https://www.engadget.com/2018/05/30/hp-thermoelectric-cooling-headset/ Also these, but again not over ear https://www.tomshardware.com/news/turtle-beach-elite-pro-series,31727.html

Look for things with cooling gel and you probably want open ear ones not closed ear.
